ABSTRACT:
A piezoelectronic device and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. The piezoelectronic device of the present invention comprises: a plurality of carbon nanotubes; at least one piezoceramic layer covering the plurality of carbon nanotubes; and a supporting material for supporting the carbon nanotubes and disposed between the carbon nanotubes, the supporting layer being coated with at least one piezoceramic layer, wherein the plurality of carbon nanotubes is arranged in a comb-shape. The piezoelectronic device of the present invention is advantageous in having excellent elasticity (durability) and excellent piezoelectronical property. The induced current obtained from the piezoelectronic device of the present invention is about 1.5 μA or above as well as induced voltage being over 1V when the size of the piezoelectronic block is 2.5 mm×1 mm×1 mm (length×width×height).
